The staff here at RHEC will have to implement new rules to our lesson program. I hate having to put down an outline for lessons, but we have had several very late payments, shorted lesson money or just not paying for lessons the past few months. This has become a burden that RHEC cannot have. In this letter we will outline each of the new rules. We will need you to sign this letter and fill out a new release form for 2009. If you ever have a problem you need to see Cathie ASAP before a new month of lessons starts. We want all of our students to be able to ride.
1. LESSON PAYMENTS ARE DUE THE FIRST LESSON OF THE MONTH.
2. PAYMENTS ARE TO BE PAID IN FULL.
3. ALL LESSONS FOR THE MONTH NEED TO BE PAID. IF YOU MISS A LESSON YOU WILL HAVE A MAKE UP.
4. NO SKIPPED LESSONS FOR THE MONTH.
5. LESSON PRICES ARE $30.00 (SEMI) UP TO 3 RIDERS PER LESSON;
PRIVATE LESSONS ARE $35.00.
6. RIDERS NEED TO BE HERE AT LEAST 30 MINS BEFORE THEIR LESSON.
7. YOU WILL NEED TO STAY TO HELP WITH YOUR HORSE, UNLESS YOU HAVE MADE ARRANGEMENTS PRIOR TO YOUR LESSON DAY TO LEAVING EARLY.
8. IF LESSONS ARE NOT PAID BY THE FIRST LESSON OF THE MONTH, YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO TAKE LESSONS UNTIL THEY ARE PAID FOR.
9. YOU NEED TO CALL AHEAD OF YOUR LESSON FOR SICKNESS OR FAMILY EMERGENCY IN ORDER TO HAVE YOUR MAKE UP LESSON.
10. FOR ANY OTHER REASON YOU NEED TO GIVE A WEEK NOTICE IN ORDER TO HAVE YOUR MAKE UP LESSON.
11. A ONE MONTH NOTICE NEEDS TO BE GIVEN IF YOU WILL NOT BE CONTINUING TO TAKE LESSONS OR A ONE MONTH CHARGE WILL BE BILLED TO YOU.
12. IF RIDING IS NOT POSSIBLE DUE TO THE COLD, / HEAT WE WILL HOLD GROUND LESSONS. THEY ARE AN IMPORTANT PART OF RIDING AND HORSE CARE. IF YOU CHOOSE NOT TO TAKE A GROUND LESSON YOU WILL NOT HAVE A MAKE UP AND YOU WILL BE CHARGED FOR THE LESSON.
